Offtopic - iPod 6g HDD ZIF connector replacement
« on: December 08, 2024, 04:25:10 PM »
There's no good place to post this on the forum so I'm trying here.

I have an iPod 6g where the brown ZIF latch is damaged (missing) on the motherboard. Does anyone know the part name/number to replace it?

Desoldering the latch and fitting a new one with flux and hot air is probably slightly outside of my skill ability however if I could ID the replacement part I might be able to get some quotes from an electronics shop before trying it myself.

Added a picture.

The best images I can find online are here:
https://i.redd.it/azmo5wcv9szb1.jpg
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F-X9DwOX0AAzG_q?format=jpg&name=large

Both appear to be Hirose branded but the part numbers differ (7F?5 and 1635?) and I can't make them out.

EDIT:

I found the part number on Reddit here and its a FH26W-35S-0.3SHW(60). When I last searched for this years ago I couldn't find the part number but this Reddit post was in the last month!

Hopefully this can help someone else.

(Please delete the thread if not wanted.)

There is an Ebay seller called "portlander" who I have used to repair an iPod logic board. See this listing:

portlander has done alot of top-notch iPod logic board repairs for me - he is great!

I also saw the HDD ZIF connector for 5th - 7th Gen logic boards for sale on eoe at:
